Coming To KC

[Doob02]

Finally the wife and I have found a time we have someone to watch our kids and we are heading down for a weekend in KC. We have debated going to a Royals game either Friday or Saturday.

Maybe take in Power and Lights one of the other nights but honestly open to suggestions.

Also if we are grabbing tickets this late for the Royals what is the best route??

Will be heading down tomorrow so should arrive around 8 pm. Think I have supper figured out for the first night (Brazilian Steakhouse) but still open to options.

I am open to any and all suggestions.

Thanks

P&L is trash.

Go to Westport.

[Doob02]

I am open to all options. Just wanted a weekend away without kids. Any further recommendation around Westport?

[lewdog]

Skip the Royals.

Slit your wrists instead.

Friday's pitcher is TBA. Could be Gee, Flynn, Young or some other scrub.

Duffy is pitching Saturday.

I recommend going to Saturday's game.

westport cafe and bar if you're a little fruity or beer kitchen if you're not

[Doob02]

I have checked out 816 hotel (Old Westport). They have a shuttle to the game. Any idea if that is a decent place?

Looks like Saturday isn't available now. Gotta love late planning. oh well still looking for more options.

Any specific place to watch the Royals those night?

I stayed at the 816 hotel a couple years ago. From what I recall, everything was great there.

[POND_OF_RED]

The 816 is a perfect hotel if you're partying in Westport. I would also recommend Westport over power and light but a lot of out of towners prefer power and light. It's a nice little area but drinks are overpriced and the bars are filled with popped collar douchebags from what I can recall the last time I was there a few years ago. Check out char bar in Westport for brunch. Cool patio with bocce ball, bags and ping pong. Brunch is pretty amazing there. I'd recommend the burnt ends Benedict.

816 Hotel is a cool place to stay. They have KC themed rooms. Westport Flea Market is next door and Baked across the street has good breakfast. The bars in Westport are 10x better than PnL and the restaurants are great too. Char Bar, Beer Kitchen, McCoys, Port Fonda have some damn good food.

The American Restaurant in Crown Center, before it closes at the end of this year.

I stayed at the 816 last fall for the World Series and thought it was a tad grimy, but fine if you're just crashing and showering there. The location is ideal. If you're planning to hit Q39, depending on what time you want to go, I'd go ahead and put in a reservation, as ridiculous as that sounds. It was a 45 min wait without one on a Saturday afternoon when I was there a couple weeks ago.

[Doob02]

I ended up checking out 816 again and they had rooms available. So now open to best places to eat and any tips on getting good tickets to the Royals??

Are there any options for a swim up bar in Westport?

Yes, but it has to rain a lot for that to happen.

Not in westport i don't think. Most of them are in hotels like on the plaza Hotel Sorella has one. If you know anyone with a Woodside Club membership they can get you guest passes to the adult pool. It is pretty close to westport at 47th and state line. The bar is in the pool area, but not swim up. Not sure if you can just buy a day pass without a member.

Wife's request...

[Demonpenz]

Buzzard Beach's bathroom is a must see.

[Titty Meat]

Go to Westport.

This. Or at least Crossroads.

Just jump the fence at the Infinity apartments has a hit tub too.

Beer Kitchen for lunch

Charbar Dinner

Corner Resteraunt for breakfast.

Bars: Foundry, Harpos, Gambals are my Westport go to bars. If you don't mind paying a cover Riot Room is always fun.

Knuckleheads

[Halfcan]

Try the Nelson art gallery, Kemper museum of art-both free. Union Station-movie on the giant screen and the WW1 history museum-best in the world.

[Doob02]

So ready to be on the road. Ready for a little time away. Leaving in 1 hr.

[Great Expectations]

Is Deke's BBQ any good? Thinking about takeout BBQ before a game next week and it is close to the stadium.

Thought you had to be black and drive a Cadillac to go to the Isle of debris?

[Doob02]

Day 1 almost in the books. Ate Fogo De Chao. Nice change of pace. Still open to more ideas tomorrow. Planning to go to the K on Saturday.

If you eat Fogo for lunch it's the same meal for half the price.

Not true. They limit the selections they serve. All of the Brazilian Steakhouses do this.
